Virtual Memory
Space on the hard disk that Windows uses for temporary data
storage as if it were actually random access memory (RAM).
Windows does this by means of a swap file. This provides
Windows with more usable memory, but reduces speed of access
to it when the swap file must be used. See also Physical RAM.

refers to the thickness of paper.

cameras. The machine includes a TWAIN-compliant driver and a
WIA-compliant driver. The WIA driver can only be used with
Windows XP. With either driver, you can scan documents with the

(Photoshop etc.).

manage the disk drives, folders, and files on your computer in a
network system. You can also use Windows Explorer to view and
